During the mid to late 1600s thousands of Presbyterians in Scotland were martyred for their commitment to biblical Christianity. They refused to worship in the churches sanctioned by a corrupt civil government, and were hunted down and killed for worshipping according to the Bible in other places such as open fields. Like the Covenanters of our day who are falsely accused of being "schismatics" for not uniting with compromised churches, the Covenanter martyrs of the seventeenth century were also falsely accused of being schismatics. - Dr. Michael Wagner, Separation and Schism: Distinctions You Need to Know (emphases added)

Doug Wilson: Heretic or Reformer? (2/2) Refuting The Federal Vision Heresy & Heretics by Brian Schwertley (Free MP3)

Innovation and originality in theology are the parents of all heresy. Douglas Wilson in his book, "Reformed" is Not Enough demonstrates this subtly but effectively. To the untrained eye his arguments may sound cohesive, helpful and clarifying. To the trained eye his arguments are heretical, and his work demonstrates his theological and historical ignorance. - "Reformed" is Definitely Enough: A Critique of Douglas Wilson's book, "Reformed" Is Not Enough" By Dr. C. Matthew McMahon (emphases added)

When the greatest part of a Church maketh defection from the Truth, the lesser part remaining sound, the greatest part is the Church of Separatists. - Samuel Rutherford, The Due Right Of Presbyteries, p. 255.

The Covenanted Reformation Defended by Greg Barrow (Free PDF Book)

Divisions and separations are most objectionable in religion. They weaken the cause of true Christianity... But before we blame people for them, we must be careful that we lay the blame where it is deserved. False doctrine and heresy are even worse than schism. If people separate themselves from teaching that is positively false and unscriptural, they ought to be praised rather than reproved. In such cases separation is a virtue and not a sin. - J.C. Ryle (emphases added)

Some one will therefore ask me what counsel I would like to give to a believer who thus dwells in some Egypt or Babylon where he may not worship God purely, but is forced by the common practice to accommodate himself to bad things. The first advice would be to leave (i.e., relocate-ed.) if he could... If someone has no way to depart, I would counsel him to consider whether it would be possible for him to abstain from all idolatry in order to preserve himself pure and spotless toward God in both body and soul. Then let him worship God in private (in his home-ed.), praying him to restore his poor church to its right estate. - John Calvin, Come Out From Among Them, The Anti-Nicodemite Writings of John Calvin, Protestant Heritage Press, A Short Treatise, pp. 93-94. Cited in "Appendix G" in The Covenanted Reformation Defended by Greg Barrow, "A brief examination of Mr. Bacon's principles regarding the visible church and the use of private judgment. Also, some observations regarding his ignoble attack upon Kevin Reed..."

In a constitute and settled case of the church, enjoying her privileges and judicatories, corruptions may be forborne, and the offended are not to withdraw, before recourse to the judicatories for an orderly redress; but in a broken and disturbed state, when there is no access to these courts of Christ; then people, though they must not usurp a power of judicial censuring these corruptions, yet they may claim and exercise a discretive power over their own practice; and by their withdrawing from such ministers as are guilty of them, signify their sense of the moral equity of these censures that have been legally enacted against these and the equivalent corruptions, and when they should be legally inflicted. As we do upon this ground withdraw from the prelatic curates, and likewise from some of our covenanted brethren, upon the account of their being chargeable with such corruptions and defections from our reformation, as we cannot but show our dislike of. - Alexander Shields, A Hind Let Loose, 1797 edition, p. 266, emphases added (available on the Puritan Hard Drive).
